Twitter Launches Share of Live Video Snippets; know how to use

Twitter launched a new way to share live videos on Thursday (29). Now, the user can select the exact moment of beginning of a transmission to publish in the microblog. That way, when you play the video, the selected part will be played immediately. The feature also works on live video replays.

The feature is now available to all users on the Twitter site and the Periscope web version on the PC. Mobile apps for Android and iPhone (iOS) will be updated soon to add support for the feature.
